Imac on SL just dropped off net after 2-3 months no issues.

imac 24 10.6.2
Lost connectivity to Wireless router 1hour ago, sending this on Mickeysoft XP laptop connected to same wireless router.
Tried assigning static IP, no joy, it's been flawless on SL since installation....I can ping myself but nothing else on the same network. After a short period it will drop off the network and will not be able to ping itself saying no route to host. This is FUBAR...!!!
Changed from manual to DHCP and no joy.

  • While using my imac the display just cuts off whats causing this

    while using my imac the display just cuts off but the machine is still on and I have to push the power button a couple of times fir it to cut back on whats causing this?

    Hi keithfromcapitol heights,
    It sounds as if your iMac is going to sleep unexpectedly. Is this during use or after it has been left alone for a while (which can be normal if it is set that way?) If during use, I would suggest that you reset your System Management Controller, using the steps in this article -

  • New iMac... just turns off

    Hello everyone.
    I bought the new iMac last Sunday. Everything was good until yesterday. I started installing a lost of stuff like VMWare fussion + Adobe CS3 + Office 2004 when out of the sudden my iMac just "turned off"... I asked myself, well maybe is a reboot option of the CS3 or the Office (just me playing dumb like nothing is happening). I turned the iMac back on and like 2 min later... off again, and it did this like 5 times each time on a different time span.
    I was wondering if someone experienced the same issues and how are they dealing with it? MAC Store any help? Phone support?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Mine locked up using Safari once. The thing that confuses me is that I have played World of Warcraft extensively on it, which pushed the room temp up about 10 degrees, but using the scroll bar in Safari crashed the system.
    One thing that makes me think it's a faulty power supply or something is that there is not a single error in any of the log files on the system. It's almost like the system just lost power.
    I agree though, I too spent too much to be having any problems. I regret not taking my Powerbook G4 back when I got it because I knew that the harddrive had problems (it was making weird clicking noises that would halt the system until the sounds stopped). It ended up dying a month after Applecare ran out. Ugh!

  • Phaser 3250DN drops off network after printing one or two pages

    I have a Phaser 3250DN printer that has started dropping off the network after switched on and printing one or two pages.  If I power cycle the printer, it comes back online, but then drops off the network again almost immediately so I can't print any more pages.  The printer fails to respond to pings while in this state.  The printer is 4 years old but has had >extremely< light usage.  We've printed about one thousand pages total and is only turned on when we want to print something so most of the time it's physically powered off.

    Network drop-offs can occur for a variety of reasons and be triggered by a variety of causes. You may want to make sure you are using the latest software release on the product, as well as check the network firewall configuration settings. In addition, sometimes disabling unused networking protocols can reduce traffic the device is exposed to and ease the burden if traffic volume is what is shutting down the NIC.
    Another thing to consider would be the network topography itself; make sure the device is on a subnet exposed to minimal broadcast/multicast traffic.
    Finally, you can verify the device itself is physically functional by testing it with a laptop and crossover cable. If the drop-off behavior occurs while connected directly to another single computer, it may be indicative of an issue with the main board or hard drive.
    You may also find additional support articles at the following link: Phaser 3250 KB - http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3250/support/enus.html
    I hope this helps.
    Have a great day.

  • New iMac 27", will just shuts off.

    I recently just received the new 27" iMac. Have been using it for about 4 days. When I'm not using it, I normally let it run on screen saver mood for about 3 mins and then sleep mode after 15 minutes. However, after  the computer goes to sleep, I try to turn it back on, it won't start. I'm not sure if the computer is still asleep (and my keyboard/mouse) is unable to wake the computer up or the computer is off.. I then will try to turn it back on by using the on button but it will not start at all. I have to wait for about 5-10 mins to turn it back on and I have to press the button a few times before it does. Is this the same issue with the computer shutting itself off because of the computer overheating?

  • IMac 27 inchs just turned off

    Hi,
    I just received my new iMac 27 inch. I configured all the starting things, then I connected it to my network to transfer some files from my windows pc.
    I was transferring a movie from my windows pc, while doing that I went to download Mozilla Firefox 4 beta. I installed it then I went to my application folder to start Firefox, and just when I clicked the icon my iMac went off. Now I'm trying to turn it on but no matter how I press the back button, it doesn't turn on.
    What should I do?

    A quick question, Apple support toldme that they will send a new imac, and that I have to return the one I have. I received instruction by mail that I will be receiving prepaid labels from their carriers to return the iMac. Then later I received a new email about a new order that will be delivered between Oct 11 and Oct 18. The problem is that the email reference the old order, so when I go to the Order status link it shows me the old order with the tracking number for the one I have.
    So I'm wondering if that is the order for the new iMac they will send me, and if so, there's no problem if the iMac I will return hasn't yet been delivered to them? Or Fedex will bring my new iMac and take the one I have to return?
    Sorry if I don't make sense.

  • Time Capsule dropping off network after only a few minutes?

    Right, I've had a good look through the forums and found a few similar issues to mine but none that are exactly the same or provide any answers, so I'll give it a go and see if anyone has a clue what is going on because I'm stumped.
    I've got a new TimeCapsule which is connecting to my home network (through a belkin router), and for the first few days it worked fine. But ever since it's been acting up. To start with it kept dropping from the network and not showing up in either Airport Utility or Finder. Initially simply restarting it worked, but the dropping started getting progressively worse. I tried renaming the machine with a shorter title and no spaces, but the problem continued. Eventually it got to the point where the machine would just hang when switched on with either a solid green or solid amber light - no audible startup procedure or anything. Resetting the machine made no difference - sometimes the light would flash amber and sometimes it would do nothing at all, but neither did anything to the actual machine.
    I left the machine off for a good few hours and switched it back on and it showed up in my system long enough for me to reset it and reconfigure it. Then as I tried to change the disc name to something short and without spaces it dropped out again and now seems dead as a dodo once more.
    I have checked the local wireless networks, and it seems mine is using channel 2, which no one else seems to be. But I can't stay connected to the TC to change it anyway.
    Ironically when it is working it's fine and I can access the files and everything. I'd be tempted to take it back tomorrow but I had moved a few files to the HD when it was working that I'd rather not lose forever.
    Any ideas?

    I got my puzzle here:
    Time Capsule (Firmware 7.3.2) dropping internet connections (PPPoE) every 2-3 minutes, then automatically re-connect.
    Time Capsule 500G - bought yesterday
    ISP stability - 4 years, I've been using
    Computers - PC (Vista), MBP (Mac OS X 10.5.6), MBA (Mac OS X 10.5.6) --- but seems not related to this issue. Even shut down the computers, TC still drops; No "Real Player Updater" found though...
    I have to get back to my $55 Buffalo and it's running perfectly stable now...

  • Getting fed up after almost 3 months of issues the...

    Hi, well long story that around 3 months ago my net connection went down (solid amber light) got a BT engineer visit though 2 hours before he came the Internet connect came back up. The Engineer keep his appointment and re-wired everything for me and put in a BTfaceplate/iplate thing. True to his word after that I seen my speed rise from 6.1 to 7.1. Few weeks later back to square one solid amber light..Another engineer visit again few hours before connection comes back up. Engineer says no wiring issues to my home or in my home. Checked by BB speed and was only getting around 214kbps. Now over 2 weeks later and another engineer visit still no difference. This time they said they would send out a new router (after 4 working days still not has arrived) went out and bought my own router at my own expense as I'm just fed-up getting no-where with Tech helpline asking me the same dopy questions and just offering to send out more engineer visits.

    ohhh update guess what as per normal we will complete a line test which takes 4 hours to complete...but since you rang us after 5pm (The usual time most people actually finish work to be able to still find out they have issues) that department closes at 8pm (still cant figure that one out when there volume of calls received during the 5-6 pm time must be at its peak) we will ring you back in the morning an arrange another visit. This Engineer will come out to my house and again till me for the 5th time there there is no issue with connection to/in my home. I shall ring up BT and tell them the results again we shall complete another line test and another week/month will pass with still no action. Also that Router which the last engineer said he would sent out to me last Wednesday guess what was not even ordered. As usual getting no-where and the call centre even refused to put me through to his manager....after some time said he would get him to call me back. Asked to speak to there Managers boss but guess what they will not accept calls from customers. What a joke. Complaint going to OFCOM. I even asked if they would set my line to re-sync..but they cant without an engineers permission. Pays all this money to BT for broadband and TV through the BTvision. So had no TV internet soo slow its almost unworkable rearranging my work hours around not being able to do some work from home. Rearranging work hours around BT Engineer Visits and will they offer anything to me NO not until the issue has been resolved then we will look at how long we have not provided you with a service. The other Online services which I subscribe to which have been rendered useless since of my speed having to still pay them since payed for a full years service up front. This has become such a joke.

  • HT201272 It seems my songs downloaded, but they cut off shortly after starting.  I don't want to have to purchase them again, so what do I need to do?

    Recently, I downloaded a few albums and they are showing as downloaded but the song cuts out after about 30 secs.  It just drops off and moves on to the next one, which does the same.  How do I redownload them?

  • Download of Acrobat 11.0.10 completes on Windows 8.1 but then the installation drops off

    I was able to download Acrobat 11.0.10 OK, and then started the automatic installation through Windows 8.1, but then it just dropped off.  The desktop folder has a setup.exe in the Adobe Acrobat XI subfolder, but that also drops off mid-try.  I've rebooted in between installation tries.   Could this be a DLL conflict?

    Hi Irwin Gelman,
    I would suggest you to kindly download Acrobat XI from the link provided below and then check the issue:

  • Dsl dropping off in raining days

    Hi, every time it rains, our phone has no dial tone or you can hear a lot of static when pick up and then DSL just drops off all the time, turn it off and turn it back on doesn't help either. is this a verizon wire issue? Thanks!

    It is. The next time it rains, call Verizon from a mobile phone and talk to voice repair. Inform voice repair that you have static and work the problem starting from there. Worry about the DSL once the voice service is repaired, since typically repairing voice will also fix the DSL.

  • My i Phone drops WiFi connection after just a few minutes and wont reconnect unless I reset the network settings and reboot the  phone?

    My i Phone 4s has suddenly started to drop wifi connection after nealy months of near perfect connections?
    To restore a wifi connection I have to reset the network settings and restart the phone, this only fixes the issues for around 2-3 mins?
    Other quick fixes like switching wifi on and off/ switching to airoplane mode for a few secconds have no impact.
    This is really annoying as I am using my data allowence very quickly, and as the phone is continually searching for a wifi connection the battery time has reduced dramatically.
    I just wondered if any one else has the same issue, and any suggestions as to how I can fix this.
    Thanks in Advance

    Reboot.
    Restore (from backup)
    Restore (as new)
    Test after each step. If one of them doesn't fix the problem, make an appointment at the genius bar.
